Anne’s Bio

My name is Anne, and I am a 29 year old Portland native with over 15 years of experience in childcare.
Over the past 4 years I have lived in both the United States and Vietnam, and traveled in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. I feel so lucky to have had this experience, and have learned so much about different cultures as well as about myself. Babysitting as well as teaching has solidified my belief that children teach us as much as we teach them in life.
I graduated from Oregon State University in 2008 with a degree in Fine Art. I love photography and drawing, and also make jewelry and knit accessories. My free time is usually spent outdoors bike riding, hiking, gardening, and camping. I also love to read, play guitar, and spend time with my friends and family. During college, I volunteered with a couple of campus groups. I was involved in the Associated Students of Oregon State University, and worked with their community affairs and environmental affairs task forces. Since graduating, I have dedicated my life to traveling, art and music.
I am responsible, energetic, organized, and I love cooking. I also have a soft spot for animals. I'm available for full or part time work, and have experience with overnight care and extended stays.
